T-N-T Cattle

T-N-T Cattle is a shorthorn breeder in Macclesfield, NC, Edgecombe County and the eastern coastal plain near Rocky Mount. The operation is a member of the American Shorthorn Association and follows recommended registry guidelines, ensuring all breeding stock undergoes routine health testing for respiratory and cloven-hoof disorders and maintains clear lineage records.

Animals graze on open pasture using rotational grazing techniques and receive a balanced diet of local forage supplemented with hay, while daily handling and group socialization foster calm temperaments and early adaptation to farm life. Over three generations of family management, T-N-T Cattle has supplied steers and heifers to county fairs and regional homesteads, demonstrating versatility and a commitment to quality rather than flashy traits. Buyers can schedule by appointment to see cattle thriving in a sustainable system, reflecting respect for animal welfare, responsible land stewardship, and a realistic approach to small-scale beef production. Routine evaluation of growth rates and calving ease helps inform breeding decisions while maintaining the shorthorn’s well-known adaptability to varying climates.
